We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

In many real-life optimisation problems, there are multiple interacting components in a solution. For example, different components might specify assignments to different kinds of...

In this paper we propose new solution methods for designing tag sets for use in universal DNA arrays. First, we give integer linear programming formulations for two previous formal...
We discuss adaptive strategies for choosing regularization parameters in TikhonovPhillips regularization of discretized linear operator equations. Two rules turn out to be entirel...
One of the most important policies adopted in inventory control is the (R,S) policy (also known as the “replenishment cycle” policy). Under the non-stationary demand assumption...
